Things progress apace on the next issue of the Arkham Gazette.  I’ve been doing some research before I wholly dive into writing the pieces I’d like to contribute and we have a few actual submissions from other authors.  Here is how things stand so far-

Done (these articles will almost certainly be in the next issue):

• A pseudo-historical in-world profile of Arkham’s second most famous witch
• A biography of Ibn Schacabao
• An scenario seed about an unusual magical artifact found in a home
• A discussion of a real-world case how an urban legend about witches developed

What is currently being worked on, by me or others (possibly might see print):

• A survey of New England’s witch trials
• A summary of the witch trials in Arkham and Kingsport (and beyond)
• A survey of the notable witches (historical and modern) of Lovecraft Country
• Something about familiars (including the rat-things)
• Tips of creating a witch NPCs
• A discussion of Colonial folk magic
• Something on the relationship between witches and ghouls

Ideas I’ve had for articles in need of an author (won’t see print unless someone writes them):

• A write-up of “Of Evill Sorceries Done in New-England of Daemons in no Human Shape”
• Alchemy in New England
• A discussion of what colonial witches might call various Mythos beings
• New Place – Witches’ Hollow (from the Derleth story of the same name)
• New England folklore about witches

I’m hopeful I can recruit a few more authors for the next issue.  Why not join in?
